Basic Video Editing - Ubuntu Linux
Yes, Blender does do basic editing.

Keep in mind that Blender was designed as a 3D application so the video editor is a bit of an addon. It works fine and is quite usable, but the workflow isn't as optimized as a normal video editor. The more complex your edit, the more hacky things become. Just keep this in mind.

Moving the locations of files and renaming should be taken care of by your operating system. Doing using Blender would just be over complicating it.
